<> I'm curious to know how people deal with old data found on systems <> they rescue/restore. The question was put in my mind recently by <> my acquisition of a MicroVAX 3800, with three intact disks overflowing <> with data that had apparently never been erased. This is something I've dealt with many times. Generally I try to preserve any software and delete data. Right now to give an idea, I aquired over 60 boxes of 8" disks with both. I will not go into the several hundred 5" disks and handful hard disks. I treat it as simply this, if I read it and it's not software I forget it. I have other things to do mostly. Allison
